18-year-old Westlake man dies after falling 11 stories Posted by Donna J. Miller October 10, 2007 08:00AM Categories: Breaking News

Lakewood -- An 18-year-old Westlake man visiting his girlfriend in Lakewood died Tuesday evening after falling from an 11th-floor balcony at the Envoy Condominiums on Lake Avenue at Hird Avenue. About 9:25 p.m., Adawi Najjar was hanging onto the balcony railing doing pull-ups, Capt. Edward Hassing said. He lost his grip and dropped, landing face down in a paved parking lot. The Cuyahoga County coroner will examine the body and rule whether the death was accidental.

11-story fall kills teen -- 11 Oct 2007

LAKEWOOD | An 18-year-old Westlake man visiting his girlfriend in Lakewood died Tuesday evening after falling from an 11th-floor balcony at the Envoy Condominiums at 11811 Lake Ave. About 9:25 p.m., Adawi Najjar was hanging onto the balcony railing doing pull-ups, police said. He lost his grip and dropped, landing face down in a paved parking lot. Najjar may have done pull-ups because he saw a friend do them earlier on the balcony, a police report said. The Cuyahoga County coroner will examine the body and rule whether the death was accidental.
